Fri, 21 Jun 2013 00:21:23 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2271792#comment-201627I am mad personally because he shows no sign of letting up. He is not playing hockey, he is a psychopath. And to pay him $6m is one thing, but to guarantee 3 more years of his bull is unfair to the rest of the league that has to cringe in his presence. Look at the SCF going on right now, hard hitting but legal, and no real cheap shots to opposing star players. Torres is a goon and belongs in the UFC.

Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:48:13 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2271792#comment-201495My guess is they won’t be stuck with the contract, but they should be. They should also be stuck with the lost bench position. For example, the next time he tries to kill someone, his team should lose the 20th spot on the bench along with his “services.”

Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:42:54 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2271792#comment-201492Hmm…it’s probably worth two million a pop to injure whoever is most convenient in the playoffs.

Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:35:37 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2271792#comment-201488You mean “one of these days” like April 6, 2011, when he took Jordan Eberle’s head off? (4 games)
You mean “one of these days” like Dec 29, 2011, when he hit Jan Hejda high? ($2,500 fine)
You mean “one of these days” like Dec 31, 2011, when he hit Nate Prosser high? (2 games)
You mean “one of these days” like April 18, 2012, when he destroyed Marian Hossa? (21 games)
You mean “one of these days” like May 15, 2013, when he concussed Jarret Stoll? (6 games)

However, I stay with my arguments: 2 million for a thug is way too much, and for a scorer he scores way too less, therefore is payed too much.
Look at the 3rd/4th line big boys in the SCF: they score more, intimidate more/check harder/cleaner and are often payed less.
But go ahead, pay your players for their faithful dog look instead of the production, and wait a little much longer for your first cup or even sniff at it.

Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:54:13 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2271792#comment-201437Very happy about this signing. With Murray and Clowe gone the Sharks need someone who is a physical presence on the ice.

Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:23:55 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2271792#comment-201429When he is on the ice the opposition takes notice. That is invaluable in hockey. The stars play differently against Torres. They are aware. Their game changes. It becomes tentative. Bc they know a ‘light up’ may be on its way.

How in the world does this guy keep getting signed? All he does is head hunt. Good luck San Jose. You’ll need it with this turd.

Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:20:08 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2271792#comment-201426Yup “great fit for our team” all the way up to the point he gets suspended again. The definition of a hard nosed player does not mention headhunter, anywhere. But hey good signing by a team constantly being booted out of the playoffs due lack of offense.
